Pros

It was a job that paid the bills.

Cons

No dissemination of information down the ladder and no S.O.P. both adds to the stress and general confusion on even small projects. Large projects were a nightmare.

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
